It was not an insignificant amount of snow:
About three inches and it was wet, heavy. I had to chip icy snow off the hummingbird feeders:
The snow stayed most of the cold day- even the next morning there was snow in the shade behind the house and icicles hanging from trees.
This is the latest snow I can remember. Frosts aren't uncommon in May but this was Winter 5.0. I remember picked ramps the first weekend in May one year and thinking that it was too early for it to be 80 degrees out. So, it's just depends on the year, I guess. Some years it's too hot, some it's too cold.

Had a productive weekend (mostly because I was trapped inside). Baked a quiche and bread. Cured and cooked some pork belly. Washed/ironed/cut new fabric for masks. Sewed a bit. Finished some fingerless mitts. Knit more on my socks. Finally blocked the Fantastitch shawl. Picked up my meat/veg/eggs CSA share. Potted some flowers and brought them to my mom for Mother's Day.
